The Runnin’ Rebels took on the Boise State Broncos on after their upset win last weekend against the ranked New Mexico Lobos. UNLV was favored by 1.5 going into tip-off.
The game started with a Broncos three that was followed up by layup from G EJ Harkness. Boise would knock down two more threes in the opening minutes while UNLV could only get another layup.
Both teams went back and forth scoring points on both ends, trading blows. UNLV brought it close and with 3:53 left in the first, G Justin Webster hit a two-point jumper to give the Rebs their first lead of the game.
